Tumor Environment & Metastasis Members

The Tumor Environment & Metastasis (TEAM) Program uses an integrative approach to elucidate key molecular interactions between tumor cells and components of the host stromal microenvironment including matrix, vascular structures and cells of the immune system.

LaBonne, Carole

Bio

For the past 16 years, work in my laboratory has centered on understanding the normal development of the neural crest, a stem cell population central to the evolution of the vertebrates, and at unders... [more]

Lane, Keara

Assistant Professor

Bio

Inflammation is a hallmark of cancer and primary driver of metastatic dysregulation, often mediated by activation of innate immune cells. Research in the Lane lab is focused on understanding how cell-... [more]
